Armed with a digital camera and desire for involvement, they document changes in weather patterns and their effects on livelihoods in their counties. In most cases, women in marginalised communities rarely feature in climate policy discussions even as they experience the heaviest hit of this phenomenon. It is in the realisation that Lensational has partnered with other NGOs like National Adaptation Plan Global Network (NAP) and Global Affairs Canada and policymakers from Kenya to seal the gap in women’s representation.

Over the past few decades, the Republic of Marshall Islands has made a concerted effort to advance gender equality and human rights across institutions and sectors. Last year, members of World Resources Institute and NAP Global Network helped identify the strengths and challenges of RMI’s climate policies and put forward a set of recommendations to inform the enhancement of RMI’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), National Adaptation Plan (NAP) as well as overall climate action in the country.
“Scaling up adaptation is important for the many countries – especially countries in the Small Island Developing State and Least Developed Country groups – that have contributed the least to global greenhouse gas emissions but are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change,” said Anne Hammill, IISD’s senior director of the resilience program.
“La ampliación de la adaptación es importante para muchos países, especialmente los de los grupos de Pequeños Estados Insulares en Desarrollo (Peid) y Países Menos Adelantados (PMA), que son los que menos han contribuido a las emisiones mundiales de gases de efecto invernadero, pero los más vulnerables a los efectos del cambio climático”, dijo Anne Hammill, directora principal del programa de resiliencia del IISD.
NAP Trends, an initiative of the NAP Global Network, aims to share key information on NAPs to make it easy to access for the adaptation community. The platform provides concise summaries of key information in NAP documents, as well as analysis of trends across countries. It is based on systematic reviews of NAP documents submitted to NAP Central, the portal for NAPs communicated to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Speaking in an interview, Climate Change Management Department Director Washington Zhakata said the AdCom reflects on what is transpiring, while at the same time giving a picture of the country’s plans in the fight against climate change. “Zimbabwe, through the NAP Global Network, is in the process of developing its first Adaptation Communication to the UNFCCC. The communication is a summary of what is being done and planned towards adapting to climate change. So tomorrow’s (today) meeting is aimed at validating the communication document,” said Zhakata.
